MichaelBay.com reports that while in Japan for the world premiere of Transformers: Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, the director was honored with a Transformer statue for his work with the franchise. The statue was given to him by the father of the Transformers Koujin Ohno.

Mwahahahahaha! After watching the latest TV spots I kind of am afraid this movie might surpass Star Trek as the biggest box office earner of 2009. it looks fun!

I don't know who that is, but is it someone who sees a big fat royalty check thanks to Bay's big dumb blockbuster?

I didn't hate the first film, and I'll probably check out the sequel. But it's reallly not what I would've hoped for out of a big budget Transformers movie. Could be worse though, just look at a GI Joe trailer.

Hey you want to know a secret.

The true meaning of the Transformers franchise is

Spoiler: This will really blow your mind

TO! SELL! TOYS!

Transformers has never been high concept sci fi, and it's only ever been really "good" a couple of times during it's long run, an astounding feat considering so much of the franchise's fiction consists of shitty anime cartoons. Bay's the perfect dude to make big screen adaptations of giant robots smashing the fuck out of each other.

Transformers fanboys, like all fanboys, are just retards. They give the intelligent fans a bad name.

Is this the whole shit about "Michael Bay is one of the greatest directors of all time" business?

Watch South Park's imaginationland. They sum it up brilliantly.

General: Do you think you can make us a movie to get in our imagination?
Michael Bay: Yes! We'll have explosions and car chases.
General: You see, we needed someone WITH imagination to make a film.

Thing is, and I'll stand by this, Michael Bay IS a great director. His films are very well shot. What he isn't, is a great writer, or even a good writer. In fact he's a terrible writer and this makes him a terrible judge of scripts, so he's made some complete dogs (Transformers not being one of them, although it had its problems). If he were as interested in the story-telling side as some of the actually great directors, he could join their ranks, but he's only really interested in action scenes and shiny things looking shiny, which he does do very well.

The first movie was stupid, but it wasn't horrible and unwatchable. It's stupid because no one realized these walking, talking machines are around?!

 

[T'Baio]

Michael Bay is like a douche bag, date raping, Jeep TJ 4x4 driving, backwards ball cap, sandal wearing moron who is a champion mud racer. He does mud racing well, but there sure isn't a whole hell of a lot of substance or importance to what he does. Unfortunately, what he does makes him a ton of money, so he can do it forever, instead of bottoming out in his mid forties, realizing he's an idiot, and drinking himself into a stupour while beating his trophy wife.

Say what?

 

[Nick Ryder]

That's so... uhm.. huh

Sure he's not the 'greatest director to walk the Earth' but he's not that bad. Sure some of his... okay most of his... alright fuckit ...all his movies are kinda dumb on some level but given the subject matter, what are you expecting? Just sit back, enjoy the cool cars turning into badass robots knocking the crap out of each other while army dudes blow shit up and act all cool, and drool over Megan Fox and whatever pretty girls they parade into the film. That's all its meant to be.

Michael Bay knows you hate him. Well, maybe not you specifically:

Come on.. the way I look at Bay he gives people what they want. Explosions, hot chicks, action. Don't blame Bay if people lap it up.

Personally I loved the TF film. I would much rather have a TF file that sucks but makes the franchise hot again than an amazing film with the franchise dead.

I hear what you're saying. If he was Calgarian he'd basically live on the Red Mile with his board shorts and gelled hair, drinking Coronas and setting things on fire when the Flames lose. He may be flashy and entertaining, but you also know that he's a sign of the death of more brain cells in the human collective.

To me it sounds like Calgarians do a fair enough job of killing their brain cells without Michael Bay's help.

Probably not, Kojin Ono is a toy designer for a Japanese company called Takara. In the 80s, he designed toys for Takara lines such as Microman and Diaclone, which Hasbro bought the North American rights to. Hasbro had Jim Shooter and Dennis O'Neil create a storyline for the toys and Bob Budiansky to create the individual characters, which were human piloted vehicles in Japan.

Takara eventually dropped the Diaclone and Microman branding, re-releasing everything under the Transformers brand that Hasbro created, and Ono continued to design figures for the line, most of which Hasbro released in North America.
